This Is Not Normal,This Is Not OK! :Day 78

Trump Watch:

 

Its not outside the realm of possibility that Trump is going to get us into another war…he is a hot head with no intelligence.  He just shot 40 cruise missles at Syria, a move that the majority of republicans (including Trump) were against when Obama was thinking about doing it.  This is a fucking mess, the military industrial complex wants profits, and to get profits they need wars, and wars breed terrorism, and terrorism comes home to hard us.  Its literally a pattern we have been repeating for decades.

The real way to help the Syrians would be at accept a bunch of them as refugees, but Trump has predictably taken both sides of that issue.

Fuck everything about this, the president shouldn’t be able to unilaterally start wars, the congress must declare war, time to revoke these powers so that we don’t have left and right wing presidents running around like kinds with a pocket military.  It was wrong when Bush and Obama did it, and its wrong now.

At least this will distract from the Russia debacle.

Meanwhile Trumps idiot policies are causing less jobs to be created, and hundreds of millions to be lost from tourists, and university students too afraid to come here.

Donald Trump’s travel expenses in 10 weeks cost US taxpayers as much as Barack Obama spent in two years

Sen. Warren: Blame GOP for future Supreme Court rulings, also blame the dems for not fighting AT all for a real progressive nominee when they had the chance.  Instead the put up garland and then sat on their thumbs for a year.

Oil prices jump after US launches missile strike in Syria.  If we had someone like say the former CEO of Exxon Mobile as the head of the secretary of state that might be a good thing…

I don’t really know whats going on over there, but I don’t trust Trump to not be easily tricked into something.

Monitor your congressperson:

Keep track of how your senator is voting on cabinet picks here, so you can call them up and give them hell if they vote for any of these worthless fuckers.

See how your elected representatives are voting for or against Trump.

Also be sure to keep track if you live in a district with an upcoming flip-able seat (flip to the left that is)
